Overexpression of the E2F-1 transcription factor gene mediates cell transformation.
Gene expression - 1 Jan 1995
Yang X H, Sladek T L
Abstract excerpt
The E2F transcription factor can regulate expression of numerous cellular genes controlling proliferation, including proto-oncogenes and genes regulating cell cycle progression. Therefore, genes comprising the E2F gene family could potentially contribute to carcinogenesis. To test the potential of E2F to act as a transforming gene, a cDNA encoding E2F-1 was constitutively overexpressed in established rodent cells...
